Privacy

遵循学生隐私的规则和规定是在UBC使用学习技术的重要考虑因素。找出您在这里需要了解的关键点。


UBC Student Personal Information is Protected

这British Columbia信息自由和隐私法案的保护(FIPPA) ensures that UBC collects, uses, and discloses personal information in a lawful and appropriate manner.

对于UBC的任何教练,FIPPA主要会影响您如何处理学生的信息。任何可以亲自识别学生的信息,例如姓名,学生编号,电子邮件地址或学生传记,财务,教育和就业数据必须私密。通常,保护此信息的隐私包括以下内容:

  • Storing the information only on encrypted computers or encrypted mobile devices(i.e., laptops, tablets, or smart phones)
  • Not distributing the information to or holding the information on servers outside of Canada(e.g., entering student numbers in a learning technology located in the U.S.)

第二点可能对您的教学产生很大影响,因为它意味着您需要在学生同意过程中建立,以在您的课程中使用非加拿大托管技术。


Choosing Non-Canadian-hosted Technologies Requires Transparency and Alternatives for Students

Fippa要求所有有关您学生的个人身份信息留在加拿大,以保护学生的隐私和身份。但由于教学原因,您可以在某些情况下,您可能希望使用加拿大以外托管的学习技术(例如,应用程序,工具,平台)。

Know first that you cannot require your students to share personal information on non-Canadian-hosted technology to meet the academic requirements of a course。UBC尊重学生的在线活动可能会影响他们的个人和职业生命。

然而,许多技术都有选择匿名使用它们的选项,别名。这UBC Office of the University Counsel specifies如果课程需要使用非加拿大托管技术,以遵守Fippa,您必须征求学生的同意,并允许使用退出者的别名。

Ask the right questions in choosing technology

以下是在课程中使用非加拿大托管技术思考时要考虑的关键问题:

  1. What are your learning goals in choosing this technology?
  2. Is there a UBC-supported, FIPPA-compliant technology that can support your learning goals instead? Explore ourtool finder, talk to yourInstructional Support Unit或者联系我们in the LT Hub about possible alternatives.
  3. 如果没有替代方案:技术logy allow you to do that you couldn’t do before? What are the concrete benefits?
  4. What are the risks to you and your students? How do these risks measure up against the benefits?
  5. 您将如何通知您的学生对技术的非加拿大托管状态,解释他们的同意,并提供使用别名和/或使用替代方案来完成工作的选项?

    • Many but not all technologies support the use of aliases. It’s important at this step to find out if and how aliases could work in the technology you’re considering.
  6. 您如何确保所有学生都有公平的学习经历,他们同意使用非加拿大托管技术还是选择替代方案?

告知学生他们的技术同意

如果您决定在通过上述问题后使用非加拿大托管技术,您需要正确通知您的学生使用它。

In the course description or in another form of written communication to students, cover these key points:

  • Describe the non-Canadian-hosted technology and the personal student information that it will be storing or accessing.
  • Explain that consenting to share this personal information with the technology is voluntary and not required as part of completing the course.
  • Instruct students who choose not to provide consent to contact you for alternate arrangements (e.g., an alias or another way to complete their work).
  • 详细介绍与您联系选择退出的任何学生的备用安排,例如允许它们使用您同意的错误名称和/或非识别电子邮件地址登录技术。

Sample communication to students

In this course, you will be using [name the technology],这是一个[define the technology]。此工具将帮助我们到[describe benefits from using the technology]。When creating an account in the tool, you will be required to provide personally identifying information, specifically your [list the information collected]。Because this tool is hosted on servers in [give the location] and not in Canada, by creating an account you will also be consenting to the storage of your information in [give the location]。Please know you are不是required to consent to sharing this personal information with the tool, if you are uncomfortable doing so. If you choose not to provide consent, do not create an account. Instead, contact me for alternate arrangements for completing the work.

In addition to protecting students’ privacy, you can also model how to make informed decisions about online activities more broadly. The UBC数字纹身项目提供学生开发的资源,您可以分享以帮助学生做出关于他们在线参与和身份的选择。

Document your FIPPA-compliancy process

如果您决定使用非加拿大托管技术,重要的是记录如何遵守UBC和FIPPA的要求。您的文档应该捕捉您的所有努力,以确保学生被告知使用该工具的使用,其使用的原因以及要求备用安排的选项(无论是通过使用别名还是另一种方式)。

文件将根据上下文而有所不同,但可能包括以下内容:

  • a copy of or link to your course description, syllabus, or whatever you’ve used to describe the technology, its potential learning benefits, and where its information is stored
  • a copy of or link to any other information (e.g., technical or assignment instructions) provided to students about the use of the technology
  • a copy of the list of students who opted out and their aliases or other means of participating

如果学生抱怨违反隐私,这些文件将重要的是表明您代表UBC采取合理措施,遵守UBC根据FIPPA的义务使用非加拿大托管技术。
